You need to make sure the car is ACTUALLY TUNED to use that pulley. Anyone who would install that hood would probably also run a pulley without a tune...
As soon as I saw the pictures, I said to myself... "Why??? Why would anybody put FRs on a Terminator
good call. that hood needs to go. plus if he has Lvl5 shafts and an IRS brace, it was likely drag raced.
other than that, it feels good to get in a cobra. i have not looked back since i sold my GT (i still see it everyday, i work with the guy who bought it).
^ +1 thats why people buy them....not to putt around in. Mine gets beat on almost EVERYTIME I drive it. Why own something fast if your not going to get on teh bad boy?
I'm ok with the track use this cobra has seen. The kid looked like he modded it right (minus the hood). And you'd be kidding yourself if you buy any used mustang (especially a cobra) and think it hasn't been beat on, even a little.

steeda off subject but are you in the army ..??
theres a difference between "spirited driving" or "Driving a car how it was intended" and "beating" on a car. i do spirited driving daily. beating on the car? never. IMO beating on the car is things like: always having to show off for and to random cars to get attention, getting sideways and burning out in parking lots, launching at every chance theres an open road, always running the motor at 3k cause it sounds cool at that rpm, etc.
i go WOT to get on the freeway (one of the reasons for wanting the cobra is that my onramp is small and i was sick of big rigs barreling down on me, now is a 2nd gear jaunt and i jump over into the third lane, unless some asshat is in front of me on the onramp, then im still pretty much stuck)
however a positive side is you knew who and how it was driven before purchase. if anyone tells you as youre looking at the car, especially a mustang, that it has "never seen redline" or "never been raced", walk the **** away, theyre a lying douchebag. the guy i bought mine from the first time lived up in the mountains, his commute to the morning was a half hour of twisties (going the speed limit) and 10 minutes of bay area traffic. his words were "yeah, i gotten to work in 15 minutes once, wouldve been 10 but i hit traffic, so yeah, it was driven". then the guy i sold it to who i later re-purchased it from was a pretty cool guy, and weve kept in touch over the 9 months he had the cobra, so i knew pretty much how it was treated then too, and the guy felt pretty much like me on the subject of beating on cars versus driving them like theyre intended.
do you own or are you still financing?
i prefer not to want to break my car, as i am financing, so making that 500$+ monthly payment on a car that is broken will not make me a happy camper. once i own it outright, that might change.
